The Borussia Dortmund and Germany star has had a tough season in the Bundesliga, missing a big chunk of games early on through injury.

And now he faces another spell on the sidelines after tearing a muscle in his thigh in a 6-2 win over Bayer Leverkusen yesterday.

"It's a real blow, because over the last few weeks and in particular in the opening stages today, which I felt were somewhat sluggish, Marco was the one who consistently got us going, who took the responsibility, who was alert,” said Dortmund boss Thomas Tuchel.

“He has been incredibly stable for weeks now, he's been playing at a high level and is a very important character," bemoaned Thomas Tuchel on Saturday. "It's an enormous loss that takes the shine off the win."

Reus has been linked with a big-money move to the Premier League in the summer.

Although the Daily Express say it will take £70m to prise the playmaker away from the Bundesliga.
